The hype

$200-450/ yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want to be in the absolute center of the action but sleep in a soundproofed glass box above it all.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with insane Times Square views
- Brand new (opened late 2023) so everything feels crisp and modern
- Surprisingly effective soundproofing that mutes the chaos below
Pikakatsaus: A polished, corporate-cool sanctuary that proves you can actually sleep in Times Square—if you don't mind the elevator shuffle.
Arvioinut @chasefortravel: I stayed here for a mix of work and play, and the corner room views completely stole the show. Sipping coffee while overlooking the city chaos from my quiet, modern sanctuary was the ultimate NYC moment. The terrace dining is a total hidden gem, too.

- You are seeing a Broadway show and want to walk home in 3 minutes
- You are a Peloton devotee (the gym is excellent)
- You thrive on the energy of crowds but need a quiet crash pad

“I would love a room on a high floor (24+) away from the elevators. If a Corner King is available for upgrade, that would be amazing.”
FAQ & Piilotut vinkit
Kaikki mitä haluat todella tietää ennen varaamista.
Is there a free breakfast?
No. There is a grab-and-go cafe and a sit-down restaurant (Highball), but expect to pay $20-30 per person.
How bad is the noise?
Surprisingly minimal. The soundproofing is top-tier for the location, but you will still hear the dull hum of the city.
Is the neighborhood safe?
Yes, it's one of the most patrolled areas in the world, but it is chaotic, crowded, and full of tourist scams.
Can I see the Ball Drop?
Only if you book a specific 'Ball Drop View' room. Regular 'City View' rooms might face the wrong way.
Is there a pool?
No. There is a gym and a terrace, but no swimming pool.
Does the hotel allow pets?
Yes, but the fee is steep—around $250 per stay.

The bathroom mirrors have built-in Bluetooth speakers—connect your phone for morning tunes.
